Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rail weld detection, in particular to a profiling probe suitable for rail welds. Background Art

[0002] Rails are the fundamental infrastructure of railway transportation, and their integrity is directly linked to safe railway operations. Rail welds are the critical component connecting individual rail segments, and their quality must meet high standards to ensure operational safety. Traditionally, rail weld inspection has been performed using manual vision or simple mechanical tools. While these methods were effective in early railway systems, with the rapid development of railway transportation and the increasing safety requirements, these traditional methods are no longer sufficient for modern railways.

[0003] In existing technologies, rail detection equipment using various sensors (such as ultrasonic, electromagnetic, and laser scanning) has emerged, which can provide more accurate detection results. These advanced devices can quickly scan rail welds and digitally record the weld status, including cracks, holes, or other defects. Although advanced sensor technology provides improved detection capabilities, some limitations still exist:

[0004] Equipment cost and maintenance: Advanced inspection equipment is usually expensive and requires professional operation and maintenance, which increases the economic burden of railway maintenance.

[0005] Technical complexity: Operating these advanced devices requires specialized training, and the complexity of the equipment may lead to user errors during actual operation.

[0006] Adaptability and flexibility: While existing advanced detection equipment performs well on straight and open rail sections, their effectiveness may be limited on curved or hard-to-reach areas of rail.

[0007] Data processing and interpretation: Advanced equipment generates huge amounts of data, which requires complex software and algorithms to analyze. The processing and interpretation of data relies on highly skilled technicians. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the deficiencies of the prior art and to provide a new type of profiling probe that can fit the complex shape of the rail and provide more accurate and comprehensive detection.

[0009] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides a profiling probe suitable for rail welds, comprising

[0010] The mounting body includes a first mounting surface, a second mounting surface and a circumferential mounting surface. The first mounting surface is arranged on the upper surface of the mounting body, and the first mounting surface is used to install the bracket. The second mounting surface is arranged on the lower surface of the mounting body, and the second mounting surface is used to install the contour probe group. The circumferential mounting surface is used to fix the auxiliary probe and the shell.

[0011] Preferably, the profiling probe group includes a first profiling probe group, a second profiling probe group and a third profiling probe group, the first profiling probe group, the second profiling probe group and the third profiling probe group are arranged adjacent to each other in sequence, and the first profiling probe group, the second profiling probe group and the third profiling probe group together form the shape of the surface of the rail and fully fit the rail.

[0012] Preferably, the first profiling probe group, the second profiling probe group and the third profiling probe group each include at least two probes, the probes are arrayed in the vertical direction, and the first profiling probe group, the second profiling probe group and the third profiling probe group are spliced in the horizontal direction.

[0013] Preferably, the second mounting surface is a curved surface, and the second mounting surface is used to provide an adaptive angle installation for the contouring probe assembly.

[0014] Preferably, the contouring probe assembly is fixed to the second mounting surface by screws, and the screws are arranged through the mounting body.

[0015] Preferably, a plurality of adaptive springs are provided on the surface of the first mounting surface, and the top ends of the adaptive springs are fixedly connected to the bracket.

[0016] Preferably, protrusions are provided at both ends of the bracket, and a plurality of mounting holes are provided through the middle of the protrusions.
