Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of track engineering fasteners, in particular to a track fastener device. Background Art
[0002] As a crucial connector in railway track structures, fastener systems are crucial for maintaining optimal track geometry and ensuring operational safety. In recent years, with the rapid construction and operation of numerous rail transit systems in my country, reports of damaged rubber pads and broken spring clips have become increasingly common.
[0003] The rails and fasteners are directly clamped together by spring clips. Once these clips break and fail, the fastening system loses its rail restraint, resulting in a variety of hazards. These hazards are particularly pronounced, including increased dynamic forces between the wheel and rail, increased displacement and acceleration of various track components, and an increase in the train's dynamic derailment coefficient. These characteristics not only exacerbate the dynamic response between the wheel and rail, shorten the service life of track components, and jeopardize driving safety, but the direct consequence of a broken spring clip is the loss of the fastening system's clamping force, resulting in the inability to maintain the rail's spatial geometric position. In severe cases, this can cause train derailment and serious accidents.
[0004] The main reason why the fastener spring clip breaks during train operation is that the spring clip exerts a large pressure on the rail buckle, causing the spring clip itself to have a high stress level, resulting in fatigue fracture under the action of cyclic train loads.

[0028] In this embodiment, if Figure 1As shown, a rail fastener device includes a sub-plate pad 4 and a pad 2. The pad 2 is placed on the upper surface of the sub-plate pad 4, and the sub-plate pad 4 and the pad 2 are fixed to the sleeper by anchor bolts 9. Preferably, when making the sleeper, the embedded sleeve 6 is pre-buried in the sleeper. A rail 10 is provided on the pad 2, and elastic bars 1 are clamped on both sides of the rail 10 through the gauge block 5. By clamping the elastic bars 1 on both sides of the rail 10 through the gauge block 5, and making the front limb 11, connecting limb a12, rear limb 13, connecting limb b14 and middle limb 15 together form a "G" shape, the fatigue life of the elastic bar 1 is improved, the safety of train operation is guaranteed, and the maintenance workload is reduced. In this embodiment, the existing finite element method is used for simulation to calculate the stress condition of the elastic bar. It has not been improved here and will not be described in detail.
[0029] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, the spring bar 1 includes a front limb 11, a middle limb 15, and a hind limb 13. The middle limb 15 and the hind limb 13 are fixedly connected to the backing plate 2. One end of the front limb 11 is connected to one end of the hind limb 13 through a connecting limb a12, and the other end of the hind limb 13 is connected to one end of the middle limb 15 through a connecting limb b14. The front limb 11, the connecting limb a12, the hind limb 13, the connecting limb b14, and the middle limb 15 together form a "G" shape. Furthermore, the middle height of the connecting limb a12 is higher than the middle height of the connecting limb b14. Specifically, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the Mises stress is mainly concentrated in the four areas A, B, C and D. The simulation data are as follows: the Mises stresses corresponding to the four areas of the traditional spring clip are A=1330 MPa, B=1223 MPa, C=1166 MPa and D=1217 MPa respectively; the Mises stresses corresponding to the four areas of the spring clip 1 in this embodiment are A=1053 MPa, B=1108 MPa, C=1031 MPa and D=1208 MPa respectively. It can be seen that compared with the traditional spring clip, the stress in area A is reduced by 277 MPa, the stress in area B is reduced by 115 MPa, the stress in area C is reduced by 135 MPa, and the stress in area D is reduced by 9 MPa. Therefore, the fatigue life of the spring clip 1 is improved, the safety of train operation is guaranteed, and the maintenance workload is reduced.
[0030] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the base 2 is provided with a support 21 on both sides, and the rear limb 13 is installed on the support 21. The base 2 is also provided with a socket 24, and the middle limb 15 is installed in the socket 24, and the socket 24 is located on the inner side of the support 21. Specifically, the support 21 has two main functions: one is to accommodate the installation of the rear limb 13 of the elastic bar 1; the other is to be used as a handle for easy transportation, thereby improving installation efficiency. Further, as Figure 3As shown, a protrusion 22 is provided in the socket 24, and a through hole 23 is formed in the protrusion 22. Specifically, a worker passes a wire through the through hole 23. When the middle limb 15 of the spring clip 1 is installed in the socket 24, the protrusion 22 in the socket 24 can limit it, thereby ensuring that the spring clip 1 is installed in place and preventing the spring clip 1 from being over-installed, which would cause the stress conditions of the spring clip 1 to be inconsistent with the design. After installation, the worker ties the wire to the spring clip 1 to prevent the spring clip 1 from breaking and splashing, which would endanger driving safety.
[0031] In this embodiment, a rail groove is formed on the base plate 2 , a rail base plate 3 is provided in the rail groove, and the rail 10 is mounted on the rail base plate 3 .
[0032] Furthermore, a spring washer 8 and a pinch plate 7 are mounted on the anchor bolt 9, and the pinch plate 7 is located on the upper surface of the backing plate 2, and the spring washer 8 is located above the pinch plate 7. Preferably, the spring washer 8 is double-layered.
[0033] In this embodiment, the spring bar 1 is made of 60Si2Mn spring steel with a diameter of 20 mm. Furthermore, the spring bar 1 has a length of 130 mm, a width of 114.65 mm, and a height of 62 mm.
[0034] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
