For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, a joint splint of a preferred embodiment of the embodiment of the present utility model includes a plate body 3, a first end 1, and a second end 2. The first end 1 and the second end 2 are respectively arranged at the top and bottom of the plate body 3. The plate body 3 includes a first side surface 31 and a second side surface 32 arranged opposite to each other along a first direction. Both the first side surface 31 and the second side surface 32 are flat. The two sides of the first end 1 along the first direction respectively protrude from the first side surface 31 and the second side surface 32. One side of the second end 2 along the first direction is flat and flush with the first side surface 31, and the other end protrudes relative to the second side surface 32;

[0025] Among them, the thickness by which the first end portion 1 protrudes from the second side surface 32 is equal to the thickness by which the second end portion 2 protrudes from the second side surface 32. Define the thickness of the plate body 3 in the first direction as X1, the thickness of the first end portion 1 in the first direction as X2, and the thickness by which the first end portion 1 protrudes from the second side surface 32 as X3. The following relational expressions are satisfied: X3 = (0.22 - 0.25)·X1, X2 = (1.52 - 1.68)·X1.

[0026] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, preferably X3 = (0.23 - 0.24)·X1, X2 = (1.5 - 1.6)·X1, where X1 = 29.0 mm to 30.0 mm, X2 = 42.2 mm to 46.7 mm, X3 = 6.8 mm to 7.6 mm. Based on the above solutions: 1. The side of the second end portion 2 of the utility model away from the rail 5 is set to be flat, avoiding the joint splint touching the fastener spring clip 10 at the turning point during operation; 2. The structure is relatively simple, easy to be cast into shape, simplifies the production process, and reduces the production cost; 3. Through the above structural improvement and combined with the optimized design of the dimensions of each part, the bending stiffness can be effectively improved, and its mechanical properties are effectively enhanced.

[0027] Preferably, a plurality of connecting holes 4 are provided at intervals along the extending direction of the plate body 3. The connecting holes 4 penetrate through both sides of the plate body 3 in the first direction, and each connecting hole is in a runway shape. The joint splints arranged on both sides of the rail 5 are fixed to the rail 5 by bolts. A plurality of circular connecting holes are arranged along the extending direction of the rail 5. The circular connecting holes have small openings and do not damage the mechanical properties of the rail 5. If there are processing errors between the plurality of circular connecting holes of the rail, the runway-shaped connecting holes 4 can also be successfully installed on both sides of the rail 5.

[0028] Preferably, the top of the first end portion 1 and the bottom of the second end portion 2 respectively have a first inclined surface 11 and a second inclined surface 21, which fit the radian of the rail 5, increase the stress-bearing area of the joint splint, and improve the mechanical properties of the joint splint.

[0029] Preferably, the part of the top surface of the first end portion 1 close to the second side surface 32 is convex relative to the part close to the first side surface 31, increasing the sectional moment of inertia, being more beneficial for bending resistance, and improving the mechanical properties.

[0030] Preferably, X1 is 29.0 mm to 30.0 mm. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, preferably X1 is 29.2 mm to 29.8 mm. This size of the plate body 3 leaves more sufficient space from the fastener spring clip 10 than the original double-headed joint splint, ensuring that this type of joint splint will not touch the fastener spring clip 10 during the train operation and shaking, which is beneficial for the fastener spring clip 10 to prevent stray current.

[0031] Some embodiments of the present application further provide a rail assembly, comprising: a rail 5, wherein the rail 5 comprises a rail head 6, a rail waist 7 and a rail bottom 8 connected in sequence from top to bottom, and the rail 5 is a bilaterally symmetrical structure; and

[0032] The joint clamps described in any of the above items are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the rail waist 7 of the rail 5, and the top surface of the first end 1 is respectively fitted with the bottom surface of the rail head 6, and the bottom surface of the second end 2 is respectively fitted with the top surface of the rail bottom 8, and the plate body 3 and the rail waist 7 are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0033] Since the rail assembly is provided with the joint clamping plate, it has all the beneficial effects of the joint clamping plate, which will not be described in detail here.

[0034] In some embodiments, the rail assembly further includes an insulating block 9 and a fastener spring bar 10, which are installed on one side of the rail bottom 8. The insulating block 9 is used to insulate the live rail 5 and the joint clamp, and the two ends of the fastener spring bar 10 connect the insulating block 9 and the rail pad.

[0035] Refer to the attached Figure 4 As shown, the distance between the first side surface 31 and the outer edge of the rail bottom 8 is L 1, L1 is 25.3mm~27.3mm, the distance between the first side surface 31 and the insulating block 9 is L2, and L2 is 11mm~13mm; by further optimizing the relative position relationship between the joint clamp and the rail, and the relative position between the joint clamp and the insulating block, it is possible to avoid the joint clamp from touching the fastener spring bar 10 while ensuring that the fastener spring bar 10 reliably supports the rail.

[0036] Exemplarily, a distance L1 between the first side surface 31 and the outer edge of the rail bottom 8 is 26 mm to 27.3 mm, and a distance L2 between the first side surface 31 and the insulating block 9 is 12.5 mm to 13 mm.

[0037] In summary, the embodiments of the utility model provide a joint clamp and a rail assembly. 1. The joint clamp of the embodiment of the utility model is set to be straight on the bottom side away from the rail to avoid the joint clamp touching the fastener spring bar at the bend during operation; 2. The structure is relatively simple and easy to cast, which simplifies the production process and reduces the production cost; 3. Through the above-mentioned structural improvement and combined with the optimized design of the dimensions of each part, the bending stiffness can be effectively improved, and the mechanical properties can be effectively improved.

[0038] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
