Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rail transit, and particularly relates to a broken spring indicating device for a spring vibration isolator. Background Technique
[0002] The steel spring floating slab track bed is a new type of track vibration reduction structure form, which is composed of a track bed slab, a steel spring vibration isolator, a shear hinge, a lateral limiting device, a sealing strip, etc. It places a track bed slab with a certain mass and stiffness on the steel spring vibration isolator, and uses the steel spring vibration isolator to form a certain gap between the track bed and the base, constituting a mass-spring-vibration isolation system. Its principle is to insert a linear vibration isolator with a natural frequency lower than the excitation frequency between the track bed slab and the foundation, so as to reduce the vibration amount transmitted to the base, which is an effective method to reduce the vibration and noise transmitted to the lower structure. The broken spring indicator, as an important component of the steel spring vibration isolator, can be used to judge whether it works normally for later maintenance or replacement.
[0003] At present, there are some problems with the broken spring indicators of steel spring vibration isolators adopted in the floating slab track industry: there is a gap between the broken spring indicator and the observation opening on the outer sleeve cover, resulting in the lack of top sealing of the outer sleeve. During operation, it is easy to enter dust and sundries, and it is easy to fall off with the vibration of the passing train on the track bed; in addition, if there are structural tolerances or construction errors in the tunnel, the height of the broken spring indicator is often insufficient or too high. When the height is insufficient, the broken spring indicator is easy to fall off during operation, causing misjudgment by the maintenance department. When the height is too high, the broken spring indicator will protrude above the surface of the vibration isolator cover after installation, and the inspection by the maintenance department may trip people, causing labor safety problems.

The broken spring indication observation module is formed on the upper end surface of the upper part of the indicator, and the broken spring indication observation module is used for broken spring indication.
[0008] Preferably, the spring isolator broken spring indicating device further includes a plurality of limit retaining rings, and the plurality of limit retaining rings are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the upper part of the indicator at intervals.

[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 , a broken spring indicating device for a spring vibration isolator, which may include a broken spring indication observation module 5, a small spring inside the indicator 6, an upper part 7 of the indicator, a lower part 8 of the indicator, and several limit retaining rings 9. Both the upper part 7 of the indicator and the lower part 8 of the indicator are provided with hollow structures, and the upper part 7 of the indicator is sleeved outside the lower part 8 of the indicator. The small spring 6 inside the indicator is arranged inside the upper part 7 of the indicator, and the upper part 7 of the indicator and the lower part 8 of the indicator are connected by the small spring 6 inside the indicator, so that a nested structure with movable connection can be formed between the upper part 7 of the indicator and the lower part 8 of the indicator. The broken spring indication observation module 5 is formed on the upper end face of the upper part 7 of the indicator, and the broken spring indication observation module 5 is used for broken spring indication. Several limit retaining rings 9 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the upper part 7 of the indicator at intervals, and the lower part 8 of the indicator passes through several limit retaining rings 9. The cross section of the limit retaining ring 9 forms an inverted triangular structure, and a cross-shaped pattern or burr is formed on the inverted triangular structure of the cross section of the limit retaining ring 9. When a broken spring occurs, the limit retaining ring 9 can drive the upper part 7 of the indicator to fall by the frictional resistance between the lower part 8 of the indicator and the limit retaining ring 9 during the process of the lower part 8 of the indicator following the inner sleeve 4 of the vibration isolator to fall, so that the whole broken spring indicator 1 can follow the inner sleeve 4 of the vibration isolator to fall when a broken spring occurs.
[0021] Refer to Figure 2 , a spring vibration isolator, which includes both the cover 2 of the outer sleeve of the vibration isolator, the cylinder body 3 of the outer sleeve of the vibration isolator, and the inner sleeve 4 of the vibration isolator existing in the prior art, and may also include a broken spring indicating device 1 composed of a broken spring indication observation module 5, a small spring 6 inside the indicator, an upper part 7 of the indicator, and a lower part 8 of the indicator, or a broken spring indicating device 1 composed of a broken spring indication observation module 5, a small spring 6 inside the indicator, an upper part 7 of the indicator, a lower part 8 of the indicator, and a limit retaining ring 9.
[0022] An opening is formed in the cover 2 of the outer sleeve of the vibration isolator. The diameter of the opening in the cover 2 of the outer sleeve of the vibration isolator is larger than the diameter of the broken spring indication observation module 5, and the height of the indicator observation module is the same as the thickness of the cover, so that the broken spring indication observation module 5 can extend into the aforementioned opening. When performing maintenance inspections, the maintenance inspection personnel can check whether the broken spring indication observation module 5 exists in the opening in the cover 2 of the outer sleeve of the vibration isolator to determine whether a broken spring has occurred.
[0023] A groove is formed at the top of the inner sleeve 4 of the vibration isolator. The lower end of the lower part 8 of the indicator can be inserted into the groove and fixedly connected to the inner sleeve 4 of the vibration isolator in a positioning manner, and the horizontal limiting strength of the broken spring indicator 1 is increased.
[0024] The distance between the cover 2 of the outer sleeve of the vibration isolator and the inner sleeve 4 of the vibration isolator is less than the natural length of the built-in small spring 6 of the indicator, and the diameter of the opening in the cover 2 of the outer sleeve of the vibration isolator is less than the outer diameter of the upper part 7 of the indicator. Furthermore, the upper part 7 of the indicator can use the built-in small spring 6 of the indicator to tightly contact the cover 2 of the outer sleeve of the vibration isolator, thereby covering the opening in the cover 2 of the outer sleeve of the vibration isolator and preventing foreign objects from entering through the opening.
[0025] In all the solutions mentioned above, for the connection between two components, welding, connection with bolts and nuts, connection with bolts or screws, or other well-known connection methods can be selected according to the actual situation, and will not be elaborated one by one here.
